Hello former clients and crafter friends. We are going out of hiatus
to raise funds for a very special person- the ever-reliable, all-around Ate Baby.

She had one of her kidneys removed but she has not been able to work again as she fully recovers.

We have 30 kits that you can get for P500 each by sending us a proof of donation to Ate Baby’s G-Cash account Rita Salonga 0963-661-1554. We can then arrange for deliveries over the weekend.

You can donate to her directly too!

We may be on hiatus but tht won' stop us from promoting Paete:) Check this post and exhibit by NCCA. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=520391406798800&id=100064838346834&mibextid=Nif5oz

Conceived from the duty to inspect prevailing perceptions, “Paete Unknown” offers a more intimate look at the town of Paete. The artists, many of whom are next generation kin of Paete's known artist-scholars, carry through the responsibility of keeping their culture true and alive through visual reassessment. They ponder quietly on their personal encounters with its places and its people, revealing the current aesthetic tastes, and collective memories and aspirations of Paete.

Blast from the past FB reminder. Thank you mnl for this rare photo of Takatak Project founders in your studio 10 years ago.

Three ladies who barely made it to this Craft MNL class dahil OT pa lahat sa trabaho. Nasa Pinas pa lahat at may lakas pa for long nights with side hustles, B-side parties!

We are all so thankful for the chance to bring an idea scribbled in an notebook to life and all the support from local crafters, design and art communities and clients we had the pleasure of working with over the years!

Announcing that we'll go on hiatus again, to revisit the goals we set for ourselves a decade ago.

Babalik kami when we have new things to offer. In the meantime we'll be happy to share links to local traditional crafters that are making their own content and more local sellers pushing Paete and Laguna crafts :)

Kitakits soon!

Say it with ducks!

All over the globe people try find ways to express their feelings for their loved ones with symbols. In Korea wedding ducks are given to couples as a decoration for their household. If you pay a little attention to how they are arranged though, you will see subtle differences that speaks volumes.

Placed face to face the couple is very much in love and harmony rules in the household.😍😍

Moving alongside each other, and they are supportive of each other.😘😚

Facing away and the couple is arguing and one duck has to sleep in the doghouse.😡😡

Paint your own ILY Itik pair with your partner and discover the many ways you can say your feelings with ducks. To find out more about this kit and the free paint along session that comes with it visit 's website:)
